Chapter 149
Chapter 148
The emergence of new crops can not help making some people in the territory curious.
After all, it is something that has never existed before.
What’s more, the crop named potatoes was brought back from the New World by Samuel Fern. I don’t know what it looks like and tastes like.
Everyone took the potato seeds back with different thoughts, along with the accompanying planting manual.
However, it was not possible to see a manual alone, and I had to send someone to the Thorns Chamber of Commerce to purchase a more detailed brochure.
In this way, another wave of sales has been refreshed for the Chamber of Commerce.
Old Beech is an ordinary civilian in Weissas.
But he is also the head of a village at the same time.
This time, on behalf of the whole village, Old Beach led some young people to the city hall to collect potato seeds-a large truck full of potatoes.
“Aren’t so many seeds failing?” Old Beech asked in surprise.
It’s heavy.
The ruts have been pressed deep into the mud, and traces have been drawn.
Next to Old Beech, there was a young man looking through the accompanying manual, which contained some basic information.
The young man said, “Yes, the village chief.”
“The manual says that the potato itself is a seed.”
“But before using it as a seed, it needs to be cut into pieces to accelerate germination, and it is also marked-if the potato germinates, it is poisonous and cannot be eaten.”
“poisonous?”
Old Beech glanced at the cart full of potatoes he was pulling, all of them were the size of a palm, and they were yellowish in color.
He asked: “Sprout and poisonous and still plant it in the ground?”
Can this be eaten? !
The young man replied: “The manual says that sprouting planting is normal, and it is the first step to be done.”
He read the content written in the manual and said: “The village chief, it is best to cut 10 to 15 pieces per catty of potatoes, and each piece must have a sprout eye…”
“The following is a method of accelerating germination.”
Old Beach waved his hand and said, “Okay, okay, stop reading, first bring this cart of potatoes back to the village.”
“Come and give me the manual.”
The young man responded and handed the manual to Old Beech.
He is the only literate among the young people who came with him.
The Chief of Old Beech also knew a few words, but not many. After reading the manual twice, he put it in his pocket. Go back and study it carefully.
…………
Lord Lord attaches great importance to this matter of planting potatoes.
All the people in the city who distributed the potato seeds felt it.
Lord Lord not only allows the mayor to personally participate in the promotion.
And even the latest issue of the newspaper has begun to update the progress of potato planting in real time-even Samuel Fern’s adventure comics have been moved to the back section.
This shows the importance of potato cultivation.
not only that.
Lord Lord even built a large wall similar to a blackboard next to the main road that people in the city must pass.
He ordered someone to write the detailed potato planting method on it, and if he didn’t understand, he could be explained by the guard next to him.
Such frequent propaganda rules and regulations undoubtedly made the people in the city, such as Fort Komoy, who took the lead in receiving potato seeds, realize how much Lord Lord really cares about re-cropping.
As a result, they dare not neglect the matter of planting potatoes.
Regardless of whether it is potato cutting to accelerate germination, soil preparation, or seedling management after sowing, all the places where potato seeds are received follow the specific steps in the brochure.
…………
When potatoes were planted in cities such as Fort Comoi, Xia Zuoy led everyone to the plantation.
This time, it was the harvest time of corn and sweet potatoes.
——Slices of corn stalks stand in the ground, and they seem to be tall enough.
The dark green corn stalks and corn leaves shook gently with the breeze, and the number of corn cobs wrapped in them was unclear.
Because of the initial planning of the terrain, the corn stalks are gathered together in rows, which looks quite spectacular.
Except for the civilians or slaves who fertilized the corn daily or guarded the plantation, people who first saw this scene couldn’t help but open their eyes and couldn’t believe it.
“Lord, the output of corn…seems to be comparable to potatoes.” Udit was surprised.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help showing a look of joy.
He stepped forward and broke open a corn wrapped in corn leaves, and instantly revealed the yellow-orange corn kernels inside, one by one, full of them.
He broke off a corn kernel and stuffed it directly into his mouth to taste.
A bit of corn-flavored juice splashed out of the mouth instantly—although there was a jerky taste in it, it was also faintly sweet.
The yield per mu of corn is generally around 800 to 1,200 catties.
Sometimes, the yield of corn will change due to differences in soil quality.
For example, in areas where corn is grown-plains and hills naturally produce more corn.
Xia Zoe broke off a few more corns.
He then backed up a few steps, ordered people to pick all the corn stalks, and then put all the corn stalks down on the ground.
Corn stalks can be used to set fire after being dried.
“How does the corn taste?” At this moment, Saigalote asked aloud from the side.
Xia Zoe turned his head to look under the pope’s crown, spread his hand, and lay a few scattered corn kernels on his palm: “Would you like to taste it under the crown?”
Saigalote did not answer, but leaned forward slightly, the corners of his mouth raised, and the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
Again.
The feeling of heat coming from the tips of the ears and a change in heartbeat.
Xia Zuoy seemed to be nothing unusual, and there was no change in her expression.
He pursed his lips, twisted a corn kernel and pressed it against the rosy mouth under the crown of the Pope——
Then, Saigalote’s lips lightly opened, and the flap of his lips touched Xia Zoe’s finger nonchalantly.
Xia Zoe calmed down the fluctuating emotions in her heart.
He said: “Corn can’t be eaten raw, but it’s okay to taste it.”
“I’ve seen the notes left by Duke Bill before. It says that corn can be cooked directly with water. Let the chef try it later.”
Next to them were the sounds of civilians and slaves working hard to harvest corn, and the conversations of Udit, Gibran and others were mixed in the gap.
Xia Zoe and Saigalote seemed to be an area of their own, and there was a wonderful atmosphere during the period.
Saigalo was about to speak from the back of his head, but saw that Xia Zuoy twisted another corn kernel to feed him, and touched it with his fingertips.
“Under the crown, try one more.”
Saigalote was astonished in his heart, and his golden eyes seemed to be flowing with a gorgeous but deep look.
He opened his mouth and ate the corn kernels.
Xia Zuoyi stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, “Mianxia, do you like this place?”
Saigalote: “Paar Mountain?”
“No, it’s all Desinia, my territory.”
Xia Zoe asked, “Do you like Desinia?”
Desinia-a territory named after his surname.
Saigalote: “I like it.”
He seems to feel that two words are not enough to express that kind of strong affection, only for the person who has the surname, even though the person is asking about the territory.
Saigalote once again slowly but solemnly emphasized: “Designia, I like it very much.”
“Then… how does it compare to the Saint Airo Empire?”
Saigalote did not hesitate to say the same answer again.
He wondered why Xia Zoe wanted to know this question, but Xia Zoe smiled and did not answer.
Just at this time, the close-range cornfield has almost been harvested.
The civilians and slaves began to harvest a little further away, while the rest weighed the corn that had been picked.
Judit stepped forward and asked Xia Zoe to come over and take a look.
Saigalote looked at his back and narrowed his eyes, finally chuckled, and walked forward.
——The corn yield after weighing is as amazing as the yield of potatoes.
Although everyone had been prepared before, at this time they still covered their chests in surprise, and their faces showed an expression of joy uncontrollably.
“Well, how can I be afraid of being hungry from now on.” Someone sighed.
The civilians and slaves couldn’t help putting down their agricultural tools.
They knelt and bowed to Xia Zuoyi with excitement, and bowed down to the pope’s crown, saying “Creation God is on top”.
This is simply the gospel bestowed by God of Creation!
After the corn is harvested, there are still sweet potatoes to be turned out of the land.
Xia Zuoyi led people to the sweet potato planting area.
It was noon at this time, and it had exceeded the usual meal time, but the lord had not yet spoken, and no one left.
Not to mention the request to leave.
The plantation also has a resting place for the employed civilian slaves, etc., tables and chairs, kitchen utensils for cooking, etc. are complete.
Xia Zuoyi ordered people to cook corn on the fire and eat the corn as lunch.
As for sweet potatoes, they can be left until the afternoon to harvest.
Some time ago, because the chefs in the castle had to study the recipes of potatoes every day, potatoes were included in almost every day’s meals.
——Shred potatoes, slice them, or cut them into chunks, or even boil them directly and then mash them into puree.
The prepared dishes include potato shreds, vegetable fried potato chips, meat stewed potatoes…
Not only that, but there are also potato cakes, fried potatoes…Steamed, roasted, fried, fried, fried, there are dozens of ways to cook potatoes.
The chef in the castle simply loves potatoes and is full of enthusiasm.
Therefore, the potato recipe booklet recently handed over to Xia Zuoy has enough thickness.
Although they have been eating potatoes for many days, everyone is still not tired of eating them, but they feel that potatoes are really a very, very good food.
Not only the yield is high, but the way of eating is also varied.
Nowadays, the corn is cooked in the pot, and everyone can’t help but look forward to the taste of corn.
Xia Zuoyi ordered people to cut a lot of slender sticks in advance, and when the corn was cooked, he directly inserted them in the middle position.
Then you can eat corn with a thin wooden stick.
“Under the crown, this one is for you.”
Xia Zoe first handed the first corn out of the pot to the Pope.
There is a wooden stick, and it won’t be hot.
Saigalote took the corn.
This way of eating corn on the cob is indeed somewhat indecent to the nobles.
But you can’t peel off the corn kernels one by one and put them on the plate, and then use a fork to eat them one by one into your mouth…
Saigalote did not feel embarrassed after receiving the corn, but directly took the first bite.
This posture is done under the crown of the Pope, and there is still a sense of calmness in it…elegant and gentle.
“what’s happenin?”
Seeing that Xia Zoe had been staring at him, Segarot turned his head in doubt.
“No, nothing.”
Xia Zoe shook his head and asked, “Is the corn delicious?”
“The taste is very good.” Saigalote expressed satisfaction.
The golden corn looks very attractive.
——It smells fragrant, and when it tastes, there is a sweet and endless aftertaste that fills the mouth, and the taste is rich and tender.
The taste of corn is not only very sweet, but also very filling.
People who usually eat a lot of food are almost full after eating two or three corns, and even feel a little supportive.
This discovery is even more surprising.
After lunch, the next step is to harvest sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato field is like the ground on which potatoes were grown before. It is all green, with the rhizomes exposed on it, and the sweet potatoes are under the ground…
The civilians or slaves were holding agricultural tools in their hands, and they couldn’t help but swallowed excitedly—sweet potatoes…would they be the same as potatoes?
There are actually a lot of sweet potatoes growing under the rhizomes?
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: I will retract after a test, anyway, I am not in a hurry.
Pope: …was he just teasing me?
Xia Xia: There is rice, I just touch it.
pope:…………
